    A sample of a 4 items is drawn at a random without replacement from a lot of 10 items containing 3 defectives. If X denotes the number of defective items in the sample, then \[P(0<X<3)\] is equal to

    A)  \[3/10\]         

    B)  \[4/5\]

    C)  \[1/2\]

    D)  \[1/6\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Total no. of defective items is 3. \[\therefore \]   \[P(0<X<3)=\frac{^{3}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{7}}{{C}_{3}}}{^{10}{{C}_{4}}}+\frac{^{3}{{C}_{2}}{{\times }^{7}}{{C}_{2}}}{^{10}{{C}_{4}}}\] \[=\frac{3\times 35}{210}+\frac{3\times 21}{210}\] \[=\frac{105}{210}+\frac{63}{210}=\frac{168}{210}=\frac{4}{5}\]
